MD&M West 2015 also known as Medical Design & Manufacturing West, will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center on February 10th -12th. SCHURTER, Inc. will be there demonstrating its reliable circuit protection products, AC connectors and switches that safely downsize and optimize equipment performance.

Our featured product this year will be the DC12, power entry module, without ground pin. This module is designed for use in Protection Class II double insulated applications. The style C18 inlet is ideal for use in at home medical equipment according to IEC 60601-1-11 and integrates a 1- or 2-pole switch and low leakage EMC, M5, filter. In addition, we will show the KFA and DA22 series' power entry modules now with a V-Lock compatible feature, which prevents unintended disconnection of the power from the equipment. No additional costly hardware is necessary to install the cord retaining system.

A supporting White Paper is available for our showcase products entitled "Safe Power for Medical Devices Used at Home". This white paper discusses the additional safety requirements for these at-home medical devices and the best approach to implementing these requirements.
